| Core Tip |
Reflux esophagitis is a common postoperative complication after proximal gastrectomy that can seriously affect the quality of life of these patients. We studied the novel surgical procedure termed esophagogastric anastomosis (EGAA) as a potential solution to this post-surgery complication. Post-operatively, the results of upper gastroenterography showed no signs of gastroesophageal reflux while abdominal computed tomography examination findings showed a valve-like structure at the anastomosis. During follow-up, gastroscopy results revealed a closed valve-like form at the anastomosis site without stenosis or signs of reflux esophagitis. Our data suggest that EGAA is a feasible and safe procedure with excellent anti-reflux outcomes after proximal gastrectomy. |
